Synopsis

Quote: Sacha Baron Cohen (the creator and star of Borat) returns to the big screen in the hilarious adventures of Austria's favorite fashionista, Bruno. In this gleefully anarchic mockumentary, the flamboyant television host loses his homeland talk show, "Funkyzeit," and does what any self-respecting wannabe would do -- he moves to Hollywood to pursue worldwide super-stardom. From worlds of fashion and entertainment to the military, Bruno puts his worst foot forward as Baron Cohen fearlessly tramples the boundaries of good taste in ways that confound celebrities and just plain folks alike. Fans of Baron Cohen's gonzo comedy can look forward to an hour's worth of hysterical scenes not shown in theaters on both the DVD and Blu-ray versions.

That is such a Samantha thing to saw. Than again, some people can't appreciate good comedy. I can see you were "Offended" by it.

Huh? I was offended by it? A Samantha thing to saw (what ever that means)? Borat had about 2 or 3 funny things, this was just worse and felt like it was the same character in different clothes. I can appreciate good comedy but thought that this movie was not comedy.

I don't know how you seem to think you know how I felt about this - what part of my original comment said I was offended? Weird....

This isn't "When Harry Met Sally", lol. I think Borat is much, much funnier and classic Sacha Baron Cohen. Bruno does have it's moments, it's a sort of crazy movie, shocking as well (I saw this in the theater and some people walked out in the middle of it). Overall I enjoyed the film and it's a messed up comedy (though I would bet lots of moments are staged), the messed up factor is what Sacha Baron Cohen intended, he wanted those people to walk out of the theater in disgust .

I work at a video store and am not looking forward to this coming out because a lot of people will hate it and I'm not looking forward to hearing the homophobic comments (which will definitely come where I live - Brokeback Mountain brought quite a few, and Milk got some - mostly from people who didn't rent them). With BORAT we'll have people bringing it back complaining about it, I'm sure.

Hm, never thought of that before, I'm sure that has to be a rough situation. I almost worked at a video store, this kind of stuff never crossed my mind to be honest.

All the reviews I read said Bruno was so-so & not as funny as Borat (and really gay). As for that cover, change it-I hate it when DVD covers are cluttered with those "Best movie ever" adds. Just let the viewers watch & find out for themselves.

in the commercials, those scenes with the army guys...man, if that wasn't staged i'll be shocked.

anyway i never saw borat so i doubt i'll see this, the whole "reality" thing isn't my cup of tea. but yeah there's only so much he can do here, its to the point where people who know he is and all so i'm sure its that much harder to fool anyone.

whichever character he decides to bring to theaters next, maybe he should just try making an actual movie instead of this whole pseudo-reality-documentary style. the 90's are almost 10yrs old so Ali G could work with the whole nostalgia crazy lately. lol

all you people keep saying is that this isn't nearly as funny as Borat, and, I didn't care much for that. So, I probably will hate this most definitely. Anyway, I'm not a bot, I'm a free thinker, so, I'll still give it a go and see for myself.

This was one of those comedies where when the jokes hit, it was achingly funny to the point where i had a headache from laughing so much. When the jokes misfired, it was painfully unfunny. I enjoyed it for the most part, not sure how it'll play a 2nd time though.

Borat was a likeable character. Bruno wasn't portrayed as someone I'd want to watch for 90 minutes in any way. Didn't hear anyone say anything good about this film. If I see it, it'll be when it's free on terrestrial TV. I won't pay anything to see it, including the miniscule risk of being caught downloading it illegally.

Yeh it was just kind of lame. I think the problem is that this "format" so to speak is wearing off. The "reality" and shock of it all. Its just getting stupid. Even borat was just mildly funny. Too often it went for cheap laughs, but we could at least have symhpathy for borat. Bruno was just damn annoying.

There's a reason this one tanked after its opening weekend. It's just not very funny and too much of it is half-scripted (the dominatrix at the sex club and some other scenes are clearly staged for all participants). The Bruno character is also unappealing and offensive, and not because of him being gay - he's just rude and obnoxious. On the Da Ali G show, his character was somewhat funny, but in the film, they amped up his obnoxious quotient so much that you actually feel bad for the innocent people subjected to him - instead of laughing at them. That's not good for a 'comedy' unless its a feel-bad comedy.

I must admit there were a few laughs along the way, but this DVD will surely be in the $1 bins really quick, and at $30 retail for the standard edition, Universal knows this as well and is obviously trying to make as much money as quick as possible before the floor collapses.

I was a bit disappointed. It's funny, but not nearly as hilarious as BORAT. I work at a video store and am not looking forward to this coming out because a lot of people will hate it and I'm not looking forward to hearing the homophobic comments (which will definitely come where I live - Brokeback Mountain brought quite a few, and Milk got some - mostly from people who didn't rent them).

This was ok, just not as good as Borat. I have to say, The way Bruno was presented, it seemed they went a bit too far just to get people who would otherwise probably not have a problem with homosexuals uptight and uncomfortable. I guess that was the idea, but you really have to feel bad for some of those people.

I thought this was largely underwhelming. There were about three scenes that had me rolling pretty good but that's not a lot for a less than 90 minute film. There's only so many dildos you can see before the "shock" wears off. Anyway, hopefully they'll put out an extended or director's cut that might have something to add, but I'm doubting it. A far cry from Borat I'm afraid...
